WENDIVIILL- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.300,818,dated June 24, 1884-.

' Application filed July 1883. (No model.)

.windmill constructed and arranged to operate as hereinafterset forth,and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation ofourimproved windmill with a portion of the top broken away, and Fig. 2is a vertical section of the same.

The sameletters refer to corresponding parts in the two figures of thedrawings.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the frame of a windmill, uponwhich rests the stem B of the windmill turn-table O, which carries theoperating mechanism of the mill.

D designates the spider of the wind-wheel transmitting motion to theshaft E, which has on its inner end a bevel-gear wheel, F, meshing witha similar wheel, G, on the upper end of shaft H. The latter can behollow or solid, and has on its lower end a pulley, h, by means of whichmotion can be imparted to any mech anism which it is desired to operatethrough the revolution of the said shaft. The lower end of shaft H worksin a bearing, 9, attached to an adjustable cross-bar, I, saidcrossbarbeing made adjustable in any suitable manner for instance, bymeans of a cord, to, and pulley b-so that the shaft II can be raised orlowered and the wheel G thrown in or out of gear.

J J designate stationary rods extending up from the turn-table G, andprovided with bracerods K K, connecting the upper ends of rods J with anextended arm of the turn-table, thereby holding the stationary rods frombeing strained by the operation of the windmill.

L designates a cross head or bar sliding loosely at each end on the rodsJ J, and connecting with bevel-gear wheel F by means of a pitman, M, andsuitable crank-pins. To the cross-head are attached rods N N, whichextend downward, and are connected at their lower ends by a cross-bar,a, said cross-bar a being swiveled to a similar crossbar, 0. To thelatter bar, 0, are attached rods PP, which also extenddownward, and areconnected at their lower ends by a cross-bar, p, the latter beingprovided with a downward extension, Q, to which the pump-pole Sisattached. As shown,

the cross-bars a and O are coupled together,

on the stationary rods J. The reciprocating movement of the cross-headimparts a similar movement to the rods N N, attached thereto, said rodsN transmitting the motion to the rods P P through the connection betweensaid rods N and 1?. From the rods P the motion is transmitted to thepump-pole S, thereby imparting the desired reciprocating movement tothep'ump. It will be seen that the pumping is performed outside of theshaft H, so that it will not interfere with the revolution of saidshaft. By this means the pump can be operated through the reciprocatingmovement of the cross-head L, while the shaft H is also revolved and maytransmit motion to any suitable mechanism by connecting said mechanismwith the pulley 71'.

As herein stated, the shaft H can be raised or lowered, and the wheelG'thrown in or out of gear, and in that case only the pumping motion canbe performed.

The construction above described provides for a mill which can beconveniently used for pumping and for driving machinery, or which can beused for either alone, as may be desired. I

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is'

1. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E and gear F andthe turn-table on which said parts are supported, of stationary rodserected on said turn-table, a crosshead sliding loosely at each end onsaid rods and connecting with the gear F, and rods N, carried by thecross-head and attached at their lower ends to rods P, which connectwith the pump-pole S, substantially as set forth.

2. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F, andthe turn-table 011 which said parts are supported, of stationary rods J,extending up from the turn-table, and provided with brace-rods K, across-head, L, sliding loosely on the rods J, and connecting with thegearF by means of apitman, M, rods N, carried by the cross-head andconnected at their lower ends by crossbar n, and a cross-bar, 0,attached to the bar n, and provided with rods 1, the latter beingsuitably connected to the pump-pole S, as set forth.

3. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F,turn-table O, shaft H, and gear-wheel G, of stationary rods J, extendingup from the pivot and provided with brace-rods K, a eross'head, L,sliding loosely on the rods J, and connecting with the gear F by meansof a pitman, M, rods N, carried by the cross-head and connected at theirlower ends by a crossbar, a, and a cross-bar, O, attached to the bar n,and provided with rods P, the latter connected at their lower ends by acrossbar-,1), provided with a downward extension, to which the pump-poleis attached,

the pumping mechanism operating outside of 25 the shaft I-I, wherebysaid shaft can be used to transmit power to other mechanism, as hereinset forth.

4. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F, andthe turn-table on 0 which said parts are supported, stationary rods J,erected on said pivot, a cross-head working on said rods and connectingwith the gear F, a shaft, H, working in its lower end in an adjustablecross-bani, and carrying a 5 gear-wheel, G, meshing with the wheel F,and devices for connecting the cross-head with the pump-pole S, for thepurpose set forth.
